Removing Parts Of Doc without renumbering anything

[Happy Trails]

Word 2007 - Removing Parts Of Doc without renumbering headers or
anything.

Is there a simple way to do this without a lot of fooling around so I
can take, ie, cutting out the front half of a large document and a few
other parts, and sending the remainder as a doc to a client for
review. I would want all the heading info to remain intact, not
restart at lower numbers.

If your Heading styles are correctly setup, once you have deleted, say
sections 1 and 2, go to what is now the section 1 (old section 3), restart
the numbering to 3(instead of 1), all subsequent numbers should follow
automatically.
If your styles have not got numbering setup correctly then you may have a
long job infront of you.
Hope this helps

You could make a copy of the document and then run this macro on the copy:

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

This will turn all numbering to normal text.

Now delete whatever you want to delete.

What I was hoping for was maybe an optional freeze on the automatic
changing of numbering so I could delete stuff without it automatically
changing. Then I wouldn't have to go to all the instances of where I
want to delete stuff and manually restart the numbering.

You can do this on all the table & figure numbers, and everything that
goes into the tables - contents, tales, figures, etc, but, I guess
that it's not possible on the HEADING1, -2, -3 etc items.

Well that's a big merci beaucoup - ca marche parfaitment!
